Two Men Killed At Hutt Workshops
Two fatal accidents occurred within a few minutes about 8.30 a.m. yesterday at the Hutt Railway Workshops. Mr. Frederick Albert Jones, single, aged 28, of 135 Richmonds Street, Petone, was fatally injured when an electric scooter which he was driving at right angles to a railway was crushed against the corner of a building by a rake of trucks which were being shunted.
Mr. William Noel Cowdry Davis, a single man, aged 23, who was a blacksmith’s striker, climbed up to open a skylight. He overbalanced and fell through the skylight head first upon a pile of iron about 25 feet below. He was taken to hospital by the Free Ambulance, but died shortly after arrival. He resided at 35 Awa Road, Miramar.
